I must agree with you. The potential upside is pretty high in this deal while the "relative risk" is pretty low. I think we can all agree his upside is much higher than Bartolo's (and not quite as fat). I love the idead of building in lofty incentives to keep him in shape, healthy and a factor as our number 4 or 5 starter. I'm a fan of this deal and i'm excited to see how it all develops in the up coming season. www.insidethesox.blogspot.com Steve T.

Boomer wasn't either, he was definitely expected to be a #2 starter behind Schilling. I guess I classify the LWHR signings as the ones where we're not necessarily counting on them, but just have expectations that are way to high.

By the way, you left out Pedro's "replacement," 88-year-old David Wells. Low risk, but again, no reward. Hoping Penny can break the streak of LRHW losers.
